– Milan

Match for two. Ai Ogura is a prophet in his homeland, he wins the Moto2 GP of Japan and moves to 2 points behind the leader of the World Championship Augusto Fernandez, second in comeback from eleventh on the grid after a thick race. The fight for the title comes down to the two of them after Motegi is fatal for the hopes of Aron Canet, who falls when he is in command and then gives an encore while he is 24th, and Celestino Vietti, who slipped while he was still late at 15 Place. Alonso Lopez closes the podium, while the best of the Italians is Tony Arbolino, sixth after a promising start and a straight in the middle of the race that slows down his march.

ogura quality

After a hard-fought race full of twists, Ogura sinks the blow in a decisive GP on the contrary for Canet and Vietti, now respectively at 57 and 72 points from the top, and which gives many confirmations. From the stuff of Alonso Lopez, good third, to the class of both the Japanese driver of the Asia team and the leader of the World Championship, who after a not so brilliant qualifying straightens his weekend in the race. At the foot of the podium Jake Dixon, 4th, ahead of Somkiat Chantra. Lorenzo Dalla Porta also scored points, 15th.

the race

The shot at the start rewards Canet, who immediately stretches with decision while Fermin Aldeguer falls when he is a good second and Chantra, Lopez, Arbolino and Ogura battle it out. On the 4th lap the omelette: Canet slips when he has the means to win and leaves in the escape route of turn 9 the hopes of making a powerful candidate for the championship. Ogura, who takes the lead, and the arrembante Fernandez, who takes advantage of it after a splendid duel with Lopez, take advantage of it. The Japanese controls the situation and triumphs in the triumph of the Rising Sun fans, with the Spaniard capitalizing on his performance to the maximum and Lopez resisting the return of Dixon, fourth, to defend his podium. It will be Fernandez-Ogura: -2 with four races to go. Insured show.
